🎀 ooxml — bestie edition 🎀

okay so you're looking at the manual page for ooxml, which lives in section 3tcl of the manual (the Tcl library section, iykyk). It's your ✨utility program✨ for handling Office Open XML "XLSX" files — specifically the ones that Excel >= 2007 spits out. And yes, that >= is doing real work there, we love a version boundary 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ooxml — Utility program to handle Office Open XML "XLSX" produced by Excel >= 2007

no cap, that's the whole thing. it reads spreadsheets, it writes spreadsheets, it's giving spreadsheetcore 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

::ooxml::xl_read

::ooxml::xl_write  args

::ooxml::tablelist_to_xl tablelist args

three commands, three vibes, one very cunty little package 📊💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This manual page documents briefly the ::ooxml::xl_read, ::ooxml::xl_write and ::ooxml::tablelist_to_xl commands.

Okay so real talk — this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation on its fossil repository at https://fossil.sowaswie.de/ooxml/home. So if you want the deep lore, that's where you go 🫶

  • ::ooxml::xl_read — reads an Office Open XML "XLSX" file and returns its content in key-value form suitable for storing in a Tcl array. (For most, if not all, purposes it may be also stored in a Tcl dictionary.) so like. array girlies and dict girlies are both eating tonight 😭
  • ::ooxml::xl_write — is a swiss-army knife class that manipulate the content and format of a spreadsheet. See the examples for more information. swiss-army knife is not a drill, she does a LOT 👑
  • ::ooxml::tablelist_to_xl — works in conjunction with the tablelist widget. yes THE tablelist widget. the one you already love. it's a collab besties 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Lowkey? Nothing here. The section exists, the options do not. She's an empty section and honestly? Iconic for it. Periodt. 🎀

Hmm wait — no, that's real, there's genuinely no content under OPTIONS in the original. Moving on bestie, don't @ me 🙈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

  • tclsh(3tcl)

The ::ooxml utility is documented on the website https://fossil.sowaswie.de/ooxml/home

(yes the fossil link shows up twice in this page. she's committed to the bit and honestly we respect the consistency 💜)
